Hypocrites, Lois Webers kontroverser Film, mit dem sie weithin bekannt wurde:“ Lois Weber’s HYPOCRITES, was a bold indictment of political corruption, the church, and the business world. Much of the film has a pictorial quality. Many of the scenes are carefully composed, to make visually beautiful patterns. In a dual role, the lead actor plays a monk who sees the hypocrisy of the world and a minister who is stoned to death by his congregation for unveiling a statue of „The Naked Truth.“ As film historian Kevin Brownlow relates, „Audiences flocked to see the nudity and were then obliged to sit through the moral lesson.“ Critics were astonished. Variety proclaimed, „After seeing it, you can’t forget the name of Lois Weber!“ (Trent Bolden, IMDb)
